Well, me being an interesting guy and having taken an 8 month break from my world of Macromedia. I decided to pull a very perplexing project out of my \*\*\* :jailbreak.

I want my desktop interactive, sure there are programs that you can spend anywhere from 50 to a few hundred bucks that will do that for you. But I’m not even a high school grad. yet and I’m saving money for when I leave for college, so screw that expense!😱 I want to make it my own.

So here is my confusion:  
I’m trying to figure out how to use a button to turn on a program it is designated to. _(I’m tired of having all those shortcuts I want to minimize the use of those.)_ I found a cheating way of opening Firefox and that was simply making the button a hyperlink.\*\* So how the heck would I make a flash button open up a computer program?:huh:\*\*

===========  
For those skeptics who think I’m trying to spam and think it’s impossible to have a flash file as your desktop I have this to say:  
You are allowed Image files and HTML files as your background. Therefore, just have a .fla imbedded into an HTML file and voilà you have a FLASH desktop!
